Looking for an efficient and also not to expensive AC unit to put in my grow tent. Also just thinking about putting a window ac in the room. Not sure how efficient that will be though.
I should be alright considering all my plants are in tents. Window AC seems 10x easier. Could also probably just run my tent exhaust into the air return vents in the room.Window ac is much better than portable units. Careful most let light through the vents.

Alright thanks. Yea that makes sense pulling all the hot air right into the AC unit. Much appreciatedworks better to condition the intake air in the whole room the tent is in.
My room is like 144sq foot so that will probably work. How much do you think that unit added to your electric bill?Windows are alot more efficient since they keep the condenser outside which is where all the heat is. Ive got an 8k btu it works decent for my setup.
Appreciate the photo. Looks good. My problem is I have more than one tent in one room. So window is looking like my best option.View attachment 1120420
I love my Toshiba Portable A/C.... Works great and has all sorts of programmable features and built-in On/Off Timer

Window unit works swell in my 8x8!Looking for an efficient and also not to expensive AC unit to put in my grow tent. Also just thinking about putting a window ac in the room. Not sure how efficient that will be though.
When I had my 4x4 sealed I built a small lung room to allow the air to mix before going to the plants. Was sealed with co2. Had a partition with a fan that pulled air from the top to the lung area and passive flow back... worked well so I upgraded and did my 10x7 with the same equipment.Good one aqua. Thanks for input people.
I heard that in the colder regions of usa people use a small inline fan with a ducting on, to suck in cold air from outside and let the cold air fall from the top of the room...
Anyone doing this ?
Heard its most usual to have ac in the hot regions
I am thinking about seal the room and temp it with ac..dump the hot air out the window..
Also been thinking about passive air intake ducting from window to tent.
Its messy yea, so all advice is welcome.
